Q: What does your
mother mean to you?
"My mother means everything to me. She is the
pillar of strength in my life. She is quiet, gentle,
kind, and humble. My mother is forgiveness and
the true meaning of unconditional love. My mother is all I hope to be as both a person and a mother.
When I feel lost, lonely or unsure I go to her. She is
home....she is love."

"My mother means the world to me. She has always been there for me. She has always supported
me. Most importantly, she has always loved me.
That means so much. It has shaped me as a person. There is no way you can repay your mother."

"My mother gave me life. I don’t think I could have
faced life or gone into a classroom without carrying my mother with me. I work with 5 and 6-yearolds. I didn’t look forward to it but once I got in
with them, a lot of the things growing up came
back to me. I’ve carried mother with me in whatever I did as I grew up."

the one who kept us all in line. She was always
checking to make sure we were doing things
right. There wasn't a person she met who wasn't a
friend. She was the most outgoing friendliest person you would want to meet. I miss her dearly. She

Most of Bailey’s pieces are made of wood

Voter turnout continues to
be low in 2015 primaries
Russell Hollis, Deputy Director, Marion County Clerk’s Office,
said this primary election’s numbers were dismal yet unsurprising.
“Even though I hoped turnout would be higher, I’ve been paying attention to what we’re seeing nationally and there’s just been
a steady decline.” Hollis said. “Whatever it is locally, it does seem
to be a national trend.”
“Voter interest and turnout – these things can change at the
very last minute. Marion County voters may get energized about
the mayoral election this fall, but it could also be something that
happens last minute,” Hollis said. “For example, in 2011, (local)
municipal voter turnout was roughly 30 percent in November.
And in the 2012 presidential elections, Marion County saw 56 percent voter turnout.”

Diving dedication
Perry Meridian’s Dick Brunoehler continues to be recognized for his
swimming, diving and coaching talents even after his passing
FOCUS
By Nicole Davis
Dick Brunoehler learned early in life what he wanted to do: coach. He taught and coached for 48 years,
earning an induction into the Southport Wall of Fame
in 1981 and the Indiana Swimming and Diving Hall of
Fame in 2007. Although Dick passed away in December 2014, the Indiana High School Swimming & Diving
Hall of Fame named him the winner of the 2015 Hobie
Billingsley Award at its April ceremony.
“It was bittersweet,” said Dick’s wife, Marilyn Rogers
Brunoehler. “I’m happy that he got this award, but sorry
he didn’t live to see it.”
Dick grew up in Kansas and served in WWII in Japan. Marilyn said that she has a photo of him in his
time of service, diving off a 10-meter diving board in
Tokyo.
“He wasn’t afraid of heights!” Marilyn said.
Dick graduated from Indiana University and began teaching math and physical education at Rising
Sun, Beech Grove, Southport and Perry Meridian. He
coached basketball and track before becoming head
swimming and diving coach at Southport in 1958. He
transferred to Perry Meridian in 1974 and retired in
1989, but continued coaching until 1998.
Long after he retired, Marilyn said he would have
former students and swimmers come up to him and introduce themselves.
“He’d go home and get his yearbook out for the year
of who he was talking to,” Marilyn said. “He’d reminisce
about the year.”
Dick continued to dive in Masters Diving until the
age of 77, traveling to meets across the country. His
list of achievements is endless, as Marilyn shows a basket filled with medals that Dick earned throughout
the years, not counting the larger trophies displayed
through the house.
“His accomplishments were so over-the-top,” Marilyn said. “He deserved this award.”
He is survived by his wife; sons, David, Phil and
Steve Brunoehler; stepsons Brian and Aaron Rogers,
12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Mama
said
For those who
protect and serve
In the past few weeks we have witnessed
the destruction of a community in Baltimore
because of alleged police brutality after an
adult African American died in the custody of six police officers – and also, unfortunately, another New York City police officer
was shot and killed – one of the eight officers
nationally gunned down in the line of duty
since March.
"…we applaud the men
and women in blue that
so willingly serve our
communities. Their
jobs have become
increasingly tougher…"
Could this happen in Indianapolis? The
answer is, of course – we face the same problems other major metropolitan cities face.
We just held an election on Tuesday that
will determine who occupies the Mayor’s office in 2016. We hope Chuck Brewer and Joe
Hogsett are paying close attention to the issue of community policing – whomever is
our mayor must continue to work with those
leaders who work the front lines of Indy’s respective communities – particularly impoverished neighborhoods and areas with higher rates of violent crimes.
Finally, we applaud the men and women
in blue that so willingly serve our communities. Their jobs have become increasingly
tougher and quite honestly, we can't imagine why anyone – given the climate that they
have to work in – would want to go into the
profession. We’re grateful IMPD Chief Richard Hite and our other municipal departments and their respective leaderships are so
dedicated to maintaining positive, peaceful
relationships with those they serve.

Another primary behind us,
congrats to the winners
The run-up to the recently concluded municipal primary elections provided excitement across the board – at least for us. It
happens every four years (although mostly
we wish it were every year). Certainly, elections bring forth all manner of emotions.
This year there were several school referendums that folks had a chance to vote on (see
page 4 for results). For the school districts, it
all worked out. We know that no one yearns
for any kind of tax increase, but our schools
are important and we believe they are fiscally responsible – especially at a time when
funds are limited. There’s no question that
when a family looks to a community, a public school district weighs in to the decision
making. We are particularly intrigued by the
upcoming Indianapolis mayoral race this
fall, which will pit Republican Chuck Brewer,
a Southside resident and relative newcomer
to the local political scene, against Democrat
Joe Hogsett, a veteran of the political wars
by comparison. And while it may be exciting for us, we do hope future primary elections would see more turnout from the people. Voter turnout out was down again in the
area, which seems like a standard cry. But to
those that did take the time to vote, we thank
you.

Meeting, May 6
n What happened? Ordinances 2 and 4
were approved on third reading. Ordinances
6, 7 and 8 were approved on second reading.
n What it means: Each ordinance pertains
to a separate section of the city’s employee
manual. Ordinance 2 relates to the personnel manual, relating to sick leave. Use of sick
leave was amended to add that no sick day
will be charged to full-time employees if exposed/injured during time of employment.
Ordinance 4 concerns health insurance
guidelines within the personnel manual, relating to employees who have become disabled as a result of their employment. The
city established rules for what it will and will
not cover.
Ordinance 6 relates to special leave, concerning time off for bereavement. Full-time employees will be granted up to three days to
attend the funeral of an immediate family
member, as specified in the ordinance.
Ordinance 13 amended Ordinance 28-2014
which the council approved in March regarding general offenses. Any business with more
than 10 police runs for a theft of less than $50

Hospitals: Fuel for
a paranormal fire?
HAUNTS & JAUNTS
By Rick Hinton
Hospitals are a strange mixture of both
hope and despair. One enters mired with a
health condition and then is released back
into their world with a profound new lease
on life and a vow to take better care of themselves. However, many times one enters
and circumstances are not so kind: the ceramic-tiled walls and the smile of a stranger
dressed in white could very well be the last
glimpse in this earthly life. Hospitals are portraits of life and death — an ongoing saga of
the human condition. Hospitals can also be
the last hotel where one may check in, but
never check out!
The former St. Francis Hospital has held
a firm imprint on the small town of Beech
Grove since 1914. Founded by the Order of
the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, it opened its doors as a Catholic charity hospital originally holding only 75 beds.
Through the years it transitioned into a 540
bed facility with over 3,000 employees. Presently, one chapter ends as another transition takes place. St. Francis closed its Beech
Grove campus and shifted its inpatient service to a newer facility seven miles south on
Emerson Avenue. The current question for
those residing in the surrounding neighborhoods — what is in store for the castle-like
building just off of Albany Street? The building is older, less easily remodeled, and basically landlocked. Yet there are those interested….
Two suitors are currently vying for the
property: Los Angeles-based DealPoint
Merrill proposes to fill the current building
with rent paying medical tenants, while Indianapolis based TWG Development and
CEO Joe Whitsett have a vision of tearing
down the complex and providing independent living spaces for seniors in addition to
single family homes. Closing for DealPoint
has been delayed several times while town
officials and business owners feel more comfortable with the Whitsett plan.
Stakes are high for Beech Grove. The former hospital sits on a prominent corridor of
the community, and beginning to look rundown.
Many times hospitals retain “impressions”
that play havoc on poor employees performing their day to day duties as hospital wheels
continue to turn. It’s not a job they signed
on for. Administrative staff and the sisters of
St. Francis would never admit to any paranormal ramifications while the Beech Grove
facility was open. And they certainly won’t
now. Regardless, the atmosphere and history
of not only St. Francis, but hospitals in general, can be the fuel to a paranormal experience.
St. Francis, it would appear, has this fuel.

“It’s a lot harder for us to get messages
across, not only to other families affected
but to other communities because, frankly,
it doesn’t affect many people and won’t get
the awareness that other things do,” Jeff said.
“Our message is small and we don’t have a
big microphone to sound off to a lot of people to. We’ve been fortunate. This is the least
we can do to give back to people who aren’t.”

to find the best way to promote and raise
awareness about pediatric stroke; the bowling alley provides an environment where
people who may not have heard about the
event beforehand can still walk up and learn.
“We’ve been blessed in a lot of ways,” Jeff
said. “Kids can’t necessarily communicate
their symptoms like adults can. There are a
lot of kids that get sent home from the emergency room thinking they have a headache
or something and they can suffer something
pretty catastrophic. We want it to be in people’s minds, that this can happen.”

Randall Hadler:
BEHIND the BADGE
Every now and then Randall Hadler will go
on a 911 call and hear a someone say, ‘you’re
the person who taught me CPR!’ It’s something he enjoys about serving on the Beech
Grove Fire Department: the small community feel.
Hadler became a paramedic for Decatur
County EMS Services after he completed college. After reading in a newspaper that Beech
Grove would be hiring, he applied and was
hired in 2003.
“It’s more than what I thought it’d be,”
Hadler said. “There’s the 'family-hood' that
the fire department has but there’s the comradery with the police department that the
fire department has in Beech Grove, so it’s
more. And people here really do respect their
public safety professionals.”
Hadler was promoted to EMS Duty Officer
in 2006, then to lieutenant in 2014. He is currently working with the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS),
an independent commission which sets standards for ambulance services, to have the fire
department reaccredited. He leads the CPR

What was your inspiration to
become a firefighter?
I became a paramedic and was
working with firefighters. I saw
how much they love the job and
thought that was something I would
like to do. It’s an honest profession.
It’s very family-oriented and that’s
something I enjoy.
What are your future goals,
professionally or personally?
Professionally, I’d like to continue to move
up in the department, prepare for promotions
as they become available. I’d like to continue
to do the community education like the CPR
program we have. Personally, I’d like to keep
providing for my family and being one of
those fathers my kids can look up to every day
and that my wife enjoys being around.
What has been one of your
most gratifying moments on the job?

Greater Greenwood Community Band finds a new home for musical library
FEATURE
By Nicole Davis
As the Greater Greenwood Community
Band approaches its third concert on May
17 for its 2015 season, band members have
a sense of relief as they settle into their new
library and storage space.
Near the end of 2014, band members
thought they might not have a place to keep
their library of music, historical records, instruments and other necessities. Their office
space had been donated to them by the City
of Greenwood, located in the city center for
the past year, and the Polk St. building before that.
“When we went in, we knew we’d only
be there a short period of time,” said Tom
Dirks, conductor.
The city needed the space for renters and
the band was nearing the deadline of when
they needed to vacate. They couldn’t find a
place which could properly fit their supplies.
“We were worried we’d have to divide our
equipment which would be a disaster, or
postpone our activities,” said Ora Pemberton, associate conductor.
Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers called
Chamber Director Christian Maslowski, who led the band to conversations with
Community Hospital South. The hospital
donated office space to the all-volunteer
band, in the offices located just beside the
hospital off of County Line Road.
“It was a life saver, literally,” Dirks said. “A
good band can’t function without a library.
This fit our basic needs very well. The space
is adequate for us to continue to grow.”
The new office space has more space than
the band ever expected. The facility is provided free-of-charge, including utilities. City
officials helped the band move and organize
their supplies from the city building to the
hospital offices. The band has an inventory
of more than 16,000 selections of music, a
copy machine, library supplies, instruments
and historical albums with information
from its inception to present day.
“We were very fortunate,” Pemberton
said, adding that they are thankful for the
people who helped them in the process.

their full concert schedule, visit greenwoodband.com.

DISPATCH
‘Deflategate’ report
finds Patriots culpable
Independent attorney, Ted Wells, who
was commissioned by the NFL to
investigate the controversy regarding
the New England Patriots and the
alleged ‘deflategate’ that took place
earlier this year, concluded that “it’s
more probable than not” that Patriots
staff “participated in a deliberate effort
to release air from Patriots games
balls after the balls were examined
by the referee.” The conclusion was
drawn based on a series of text
messages between Jim McNally,
Patriots locker room attendant and
equipment assistant, John Jastremski.
While Coach Bill Belichick has been
exonerated by the report, Brady’s
name apparently came up several
times during texts between McNally
and Jastremski. In a statement, the
NFL said it is deliberating “what steps
to take in light of the report, both with
respect to possible disciplinary action
and to any changes in protocols that
are necessary to avoid future incidents
of this type.”

Avengers: Age of Ultron…
a typical Marvel film, nothing more
MOVIE REVIEW
By Adam Staten
If you haven’t heard or seen one of the hundreds of commercials advertising the film, the
newest Avengers movie has landed in theaters.
There aren't many other film franchises that
draw as much fanfare as the Avengers or really the entire lineup of Marvel films. The only
other franchises that even come close
to the fanaticism of the Marvel
films would be the Star Wars
and Star Trek films, but even
then it’s debatable. However, all
you have to do is slap the Marvel logo on a film and it’s guaranteed to make a couple hundred
million easy. But is Avengers: Age
of Ultron any good?
The newest film from Marvel
Entertainment begins with the
group of crime fighting superheroes in midmission. After saving the world from certain
destruction yet again, the group stumbles
upon what is perhaps their biggest and deadliest foe to date, Ultron.
Ultron is a program initially created by
Tony Stark as a peacekeeping initiative. Unfortunately for the Avengers and everyone on
Earth, Ultron’s definition of peace involves destroying the planet and those who reside on
it. Ultron’s scheme also involves pitting the
group of superheroes against one another by
bringing to light each of their shortcomings
and failures, a tactic that nearly works.
In an expected and welcomed change of
pace, the story is a tad darker than pervious Marvel films. The villain is more sinister
and twisted than the first Avengers film. The
story also starts to go into a direction similar
to Nolan’s Batman films as it starts to bring
up issues of mortality, vigilantism, and other
similar issues. However, about a fourth of the
way through, the film completely abandons
that and dissolves into just yet another Marvel film.
The performances are fine for
this kind of a film, nothing outstanding, but nothing that leaves
you shaking your head in disgust.
This time around Hawkeye, The
Hulk, and Black Widow take
center stage. All three are arguably the three strongest actors
out of the group. Thankfully,
the dullest characters, Captain
America and Thor, almost blend into
the background as neither really has much of
a storyline here.
Avengers: Age of Ultron will undoubtedly
go on to make hundreds of millions of dollars
and become the highest grossing film of 2015.
Even though, it’s better than the first, it’s not
by much. It’s a typical Marvel film, fans will be
pleased, but it’s nothing special. 2.5 out of 5.

were when you read books to me like Snuggle Puppy or Brown
Bear, Brown Bear. I also remember you would always do art
with me like painting or coloring in my Care Bears coloring
book. You also taught me how to do many things such as
cooking, spelling my name, counting by 5s and 10s, my
multiplication facts and even how to do the monkey bars! I
love you SOOOOOO much and I am overjoyed to have a full 24
hours to celebrate just you. You’re the world’s BEST mom and I
wouldn’t change a thing about you for the world.
Love,
Your favorite daughter Gracie

"Best Mom Ever"
I could never put in words how much my
mom means to me. She will always love me no
matter what.
My mom is my hero. She will love, support
and care for me through good times and bad.
She stays with me through everything; even
though we fight we are still family. Yes, I am adopted but I never seem to think about it because
you never want to think about the past—just the
present because if you think about the past you could miss the most
wonderful moments in your life.
And if I could plan the most amazing Mother’s Day for my mom, it
would be starting off when she wakes up on her own, because I want
her to be energized for the day ahead.
I wouldn’t give her breakfast in bed because that’s not too original.
When she comes downstairs it will be clean because what mom
doesn’t want a house that got cleaned without her asking and without lifting a finger?
Then I would make her chocolate chip pancakes with milk.
Then we would go to lunch at El Rodeo.
Of course you can’t go out to eat and not have dessert, so then we’d
make cupcakes with fondant on them even though you’re not really
supposed to put fondant on cupcakes, but we’ll break the rules—put
those smiley faces on the cupcakes!
At night, we’ll put on our pajamas and watch a movie till we go upstairs to our rooms and say goodnight, then go to bed and we will remember this day forever.

BGHS students connect to careers
A new program has been launched at
Beech Grove High School. The objectives of
the Career Connections - Pathways Exploration Program are: Help students identify and
explore career possibilities by utilizing the
resources of the Beech Grove Guidance Department, the new College and Career area,
the Advisory Board Members of the Applied Life Science – Agricultural Education
Program and additional individuals familiar
with specific careers.
Seventeen students enrolled in the pilot
program: eight freshmen, three sophomores
and six juniors. Based on the instruction provided by Guidance Counselors, Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Cooley, the students completed three different programs, and each
student then identified three possible careers
based on their interests and strengths. Students started meeting with professionals this
week: Phil Cooley, Law Enforcement; Larry
Sernyk, Dow AgroSciences; Greg Bohlander,
Indiana Farm Bureau; Rich Witmer - Former
Beech Grove Police Chief and currently Director of Security for Franciscan/St. Francis
Hospital; Madelyn Walters, Adayana (an agricultural business consulting group); and
Frank Mascari, owner of Spalding Jewelry in
Beech Grove. Other professionals will meet
with students this week. Bruce Bye, Chair of
the Agri-Science Advisory Council, coordinated this new program with BGHS staff.

Fun Facts from National Geographic
"The BELUGA, or white whale, is one of the smallest
species of whale. Their distinctive color and prominent
foreheads make them easily identifiable. Unlike most
other whales, the beluga has a very flexible neck that
enables it to nod and turn its head in all directions.
Belugas generally live together in small groups known
as pods. They are social animals and very vocal
communicators. They use a diversified
language of clicks, whistles, and clangs.
Belugas can also copy a variety of other
sounds. Belugas feed on fish, crustaceans,
and worms. The whale is related to the tusked
‘unicorn’ whale known as the narwhal. The
beluga is not related to the sturgeon of
the same name, which has been
heavily fished for its famous
caviar."

Dalman is the recipient of a check for $300

petition asked students to design a complete
set of working drawings for a family home
for five people with one of the children being

Cunningham named
Presidential Scholar Semi-Finalist
Roncalli High School senior Matt Cunningham has been selected as
a semi-finalist in the 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholars program. From the
over 3.3 million seniors graduating this spring in the United States, only
565 semi-finalists (less than 1 percent) have been named. Cunningham
is one of only 14 Presidential Scholar semi-finalists from the state of
Indiana. Potential Presidential Scholars are identified initially by their
SAT or ACT scores and invited to submit their nomination. Cunningham is the son of Greg and Cheryl Cunningham.
Southport Armed Forces Cadets
(SAFC) is an after-school military
program which teaches leadership
skills, safety skills, life skills and
teaches about all branches of the
military. Cadets learn many things,
such as how to make a resume, how
to prepare for a job interview and
navigational skills. If you like to be
in charge, there are equal opportunities in SAFC for leadership. The
positions within SAFC change with
each new semester, giving participants a chance to hone their leadership skills in the different areas.
There are currently five different
positions that can be held within
SAFC. The platoon sergeant is in
charge of the whole platoon. The
squad leaders are in charge of eight
to 10 cadets and are occasionally in
charge of activities. Training officers make training schedules, and
occasionally lead PT. Chaplains
are the ones who students can go to
for advice or help with something.
Medical officers carry around a
medical bag and administers first
aid if anyone get hurt.
During a typical meeting of the
SAFC, cadets do some form of
physical training (PT), and learn
military knowledge such as the
phonetic alphabet, military ranks,
and Military 24-hour time. PT
can be anything from self-defense
training to a game of capture the
flag to PT relay races. In SAFC, you
can take Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) training.
CERT is training to be a responder to natural
or man-made disasters. Have you seen the
Color and Honor Guard at sporting events
or other events around the Southport area
and thought, “Wow! That looks cool!” SAFC
performs Color and Honor guard at sporting
events and special events around the Southport area. For those who like action, there
are combative exercises where cadets learn
how to defend themselves. For those who
are fans of bullet-wielding weaponry, SAFC
teaches you about firearms and teaches you
how to use them safely and properly. There
are even trips to gun ranges such as Camp
Atterbury to practice shooting and to learn
Southport Armed Forces Cadets
proper gun-handling techniques.
Being apart of SAFC provides benefits
for your future. Whether you plan to join a
branch of military or work in the private sector, having had military leadership training
provided by SAFC will help you no matter
what career you choose as well as in many
aspects of life.
So long as you are age twelve to high
school age, you can join! SAFC is open to
anyone in the Southern Marion- Northern Johnson County area and meets weekly at Southport High School from 2:30 to
4:30 p.m. If you attend SHS or another local school and are interested in SAFC, send
an inquiry to bthompson@perryschools.org.

Cauliflower: Veggie of the year
NUTRITION
By Chef Wendell Fowler
Mark Twain said cauliflower is nothing
but a cabbage with a college education.
Kale came, conquered, and found a home
in American’s crisper-drawers. It appears,
however, crunchy white cauliflower is gaining ground. We’re warned not to eat white
food, but hold on. Responsible nutritionists
are referring to processed junk food, sugar,
AP flour, white rice and sausage gravy, but
not cauliflower.
There’s wonderful health news regarding the predictable veggie tray standard.
The large white flower is a member of cruciferous vegetable family of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, cabbage, watercress, collards and bok choy. Cruciferous
vegetables hold vitamins, minerals, other
nutrients and plant chemicals called glucosinolates that break down into biologicallyactive compounds being studied for possible
anticancer effects. BTW: The heavy green
leaves that surround the head protect the
flower buds from sunlight. The lack of sunlight does not allow chlorophyll to develop.
Therefore, color is not produced.
Cauliflower brims with dietary fiber,
crucial for good digestion. When you get
enough fiber things, ahem, move smoothly,
like roto-rooter through your temple’s intestines. Cauliflower also contains glucoraphin, which protects your stomach and innards from cancer and ulcers. The omega-3
and vitamin K in cauliflower helps prevent
chronic inflammation that leads to arthritis, chronic pain, and certain bowel condi-
tions. In addition to folate, cauliflower is
loaded with niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic
acid, and thiamine. Cauliflower is low in sodium but delivers a good amount of potassium too. A 1/2-cup measure of cooked cauliflower contains 27.5 milligrams of ascorbic
acid, more commonly known as vitamin C,
nearly 50 percent of the daily recommended
intake. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant
that helps to reduce levels of snarky chemicals accumulating within your temple that
damage cells within tissues.
Cauliflower can be served cooked or raw.
Raw has considerably more nutrition. Peel
off stem leaves, turn cauliflower upside
down. Cut the stem just above where the florets join together. Separate the florets into
equal bite size pieces. Turned off by the sulfur smell? Quickly steaming cauliflower reduces the sulfur smell, preserves crispness
and color and reduces the loss of nutrients.
When wrapped, cauliflower will keep for up
to five days in your crisper drawer.
Much of society is reconnecting with
earth. When all men, women, and children
accept that foods born from the heavenly
apothecary, not a chemistry lab, are the best
vitamins on earth, disease and suffering will
cease. You weren’t born to hate veggies, you
were taught. You were created to express
perfect health. Reconnect.

and motivational presenter. Contact

‘Flout’ or ‘flaunt?’
GRAMMAR GUY
By Jordan Fischer
Here’s a question for you: When you’re
late to work, and you’re flying down the road
15 miles an hour over the speed limit, are
you “flouting” the law, or “flaunting” it?
The issue at hand is a case of mistaken
identity. “Flout” and “flaunt” have different
meanings, but similar connotations. Over
the years that has lead to some confusion.
The band geeks out there are probably already aware that “flout” comes from
the Middle English word flouten, meaning
to play the flute (you knew that, right?). It
means “to break or ignore (a law, rule, etc.)
without hiding what you are doing or showing fear or shame,” and originated from flute
players’ tendencies toward reckless, barefaced criminality.
(Some of that might not be historically accurate.)
“Flaunt,” on the other hand, means “to
show something in a very open way so that
other people will notice.” You see where the
confusion could arise, yes?
“Flaunt” is sometimes used to mean “to
treat contemptuously,” but it’s a non-standard usage. And, frankly, it’s wrong.
This is one we can keep simple, thankfully:
“Flaunt” means to display ostentatiously, and

Mother’s Day kitchen traditions
RECIPE
For The Southside Times by Family Features
There’s no better place than the kitchen to honor your special
bond with a woman who
has taught you all you know
about cooking and baking.
Whether she’s your mom, or
a woman who has been like
a mom in your life, Mother’s
Day is the perfect time to
create kitchen traditions you
can cherish together year after year.
A decadent recipe you can
prepare together and enjoy
warm out of the oven is an
ideal choice. As you wait for
the dough to rise in these homemade cinnamon rolls, you’ll have plenty of time to catch
up and reminisce over shared memories of
your childhood and beyond.

Altenheim celebrates open house
of newly-renovated suites
CarDon and Associates celebrated this
past weekend the renovation and expansion
of the Altenheim Exceptional Senior Living
campus with a public open house, 3525 E.
Hanna Ave., Indianapolis.
Included in the renovation are 37 private
rehabilitation suites, including 17 remodeled
rooms and 20 brand new rooms. The new
suites redesigned with new color schemes
include private showers, microwaves and
refrigerators, and a state-of-the-art therapy
gym. The Altenheim has been part of the Indianapolis Southside community for more
than 100 years and with CarDon and Associates since 2010.
Kent Rodgers, CarDon and Associates
Chief Financial Officer said during prior to
the April 30 ribbon cutting with the Greater Beech Grove Chamber of Commerce that
the changes were in line with changing generational expectations of care.
“When we came into the community we
had visions of this. It took us a little while to
get there but we are excited about the service we can provide to the residents here in
the area as private rooms are expected nowadays. We are glad to provide the rehab patients with a room that looks like a hospital
room or better that they came from, the hospitality feel of a hotel setting,” said Rodgers.

For rolls, stir together warm milk, yeast
and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl. Let
stand 5-10 minutes or until foamy. Add butter, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, egg yolks,
vanilla and salt. Mix with
electric mixer using dough
hook on medium speed until combined. Gradually add
flour, 1 cup at a time, and
mix on medium speed until
smooth, elastic dough forms,
about 5 minutes.
Spray large bowl with
vegetable pan spray. Form
dough into ball, place into
bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm
place for 45 minutes or until
doubled in size.
For filling, stir together butter, sugar, flour
and cinnamon in medium bowl until wellcombined.
Prepare 13-by-9-inch pan with vegetable
pan spray.
Punch dough down and roll out to 18-by14-inch rectangle on floured surface. Spread
filling onto dough and roll up from long end,
like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal, trim ends
and cut into 12 equally-sized pieces.
Place rolls into prepared pan; cover with
plastic wrap and let rise 25-30 minutes or
until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Remove
plastic wrap from rolls and bake 25-29 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on
wire rack while preparing glaze.
For glaze, melt butter in saucepan over
medium heat. Add brown sugar and cream.
Cook over medium-high heat until mixture
reaches a simmer; cook for 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over warm rolls.
Serve warm.

One reason why Jim is overweight is that
his parishioners keep giving him extra food.
There are church suppers and meals and
snacks at people’s homes. Then he goes to
meetings with other pastors and they always
find an excuse to eat. The IRS collects nothing from these free grub which is fine by me.
Surely some things should not be taxed.
I wonder, if Jim ever bought me some

By Paul Kirby
"Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and
the Son of man shall be delivered unto the
chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they
shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock
him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit
upon him, and shall kill him: and the third
day he shall rise again." ~ Mark 10:33-34
Ours is a purposeful life. God has us all
here for His purpose. Romans 8:28 says that
all things come together for the good of
those who are here to fulfill God's purpose in
their lives because they love Him. (And we
know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to His purpose.)
Some people think that they are here to
take up space and breathe the air. I realize
that some seem to have a greater purpose
than others but in God's mind none do.
Whatever my purpose is in God's domain,
I am willing to serve in that capacity content and full of holy joy. Jesus had a purpose.
All of His life was a journey to that purpose.
Even before the world was created and put
into place in this solar system, God knew He
would send Jesus into this world to die for
the sins of mankind. Jesus knew before He
came what an ordeal this life would be for
Him.
We miss this sometimes when we read
about Jesus. We forget that He is the perfect
image of the Father and that He is God revealing Himself to us all the way to the cross
and the death of the physical body in which
He lived.
God has a greater purpose for you than
merely being here. We are all here to be His
children, His servants, His eyes, His hands,
His feet, and being all of these things we are
His agents of love and mercy. May we, like
Jesus, determine to live to the goal that God
has set for our lives. Some will have great
wealth, others great health, and others great
fame and well-known names. Then, others
of us will just be the average "Joe" just being

faithful to God to the end. If we are faithful

The Sisters of St. Benedict took paradise
back from a parking lot and replaced it with
a meditative garden for the whole community to enjoy.
On Wednesday, April 29 the Sisters, community leaders, and supporters who helped
celebrated and blessed The Peace and Nature
Garden at the Benedict Inn at 1402 Southern Ave. in Beech Grove. The Beech Grove
Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting and Sister Carol Falkner blessed the
land.
The space opened up after the decision in
2012 to raze the community center which
had become difficult to maintain. Sister
Sheila Marie Fitzpatrick, director of facilities and project manager for the project, said
the parking serving the community center
was removed and moved closer to the other
building on the property.
“That left us with a large space that had
been a parking lot for 40 years and we felt
like we had to do something,” Fitzpatrick
said. “We decided we wanted something
that would be a meditative space that would
be accessible to all so folks in wheelchairs,
walkers, could also take part in it,” she said.
The Sisters teamed up with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB), Roncalli High
School, St. Roch Catholic School, The Life
Academy, The Benedictine Oblates of Our
Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove High
School and many others. KIB brought other
groups to help including employees from Eli
Lilly and Company and even a Muslim youth
group. The project started July 2013 and in
April 2015.
“It was amazing how many people came to
support the project. I estimate over 500 volunteers,” Fitzpatrick said.
